According to Hulu's official policy[reference:35]:

You keep access until the end of your current billing period—there are no partial refunds for unused days.[reference:36]
Missing the cancellation deadline by even one day means you'll be charged for a full additional billing period.[reference:37]
Annual plans purchased directly are eligible for a prorated refund only within the first 7 days of purchase.[reference:38]
Free trials: If you sign up for a free trial and forget to cancel, Hulu will charge your payment method immediately after the trial ends without any advance warning email, and will not refund that charge.[reference:39]
Bundles: Canceling a bundle follows the same no-refund policy—you keep access until the end of the billing period.[reference:40]

💡 Strategy: Since there are no partial refunds, wait until a few days before your next billing date to cancel—you'll maximize your paid access.
